Free-Motion Raw-Edge Appliqué Made Easy

If you *like* Little Red Monkey & Co’s Facebook page you will know that last night I did a somewhat foolish thing. I cracked open a bottle of wine during an impromptu sewing session. You know the sort where you empty your entire fabric collection – including the scrap box – all over the living room. I was inspired by a fab tutorial found on Comfort Stitching, no idea how I stumbled onto this blog (may have been the wine distracting me from online grocery shopping), but I am glad I found it. So out came my fabric, large helping of wine, and I was off on my free-motion-embroidery journey. I didn’t expect it to work, i really didn’t. Maybe it was the lack of expectation, maybe it was the wine making me carefree about that needle cm’s from my hands. But it turned out alright……I was that pleased I made it into a cushion. Little M has claimed it – he is my number one fan after all 🙂
